this is why I don't answer my home phone

I never answer my home phone. It used to be because of bill collectors, but I've got that under control now. Now it's because I don't recognise any of the names. My phone just rang and the name read AT&T followed by other acronyms. I went ahead and answered it and got this message:

"This is a collect call from "Bob," an inmate at the shelby county correctional institution. To accept the charges press 3, to decline press 0."

I immediately pressed 0 and hung up. Why the heck are inmates at the correctional institute calling me? All my friends and family have my cell phone number, and my home phone is strictly for my DSL. Who had this number before me and why, after living here for over 3 years, are they still calling it?        

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day. Glenn Beck had a nice audio essay today. here's the description:

"Listen to this emotional narration of a soldier’s life through the Vietnam War. A tribute to Memorial Day and to our soldiers who died in defense of freedom."

It's free audio and you can listen to it here.
